Title:
Some Thoughts on Data Science - Population Health Collaborations.

Abstract:
Data science involves the application of knowledge from the fields of 
computer science (on how to manage data) and statistics (on how to 
analyze data) to solve theoretical and practical problems. The field of 
population health involves investigation of health outcomes, patterns of 
health determinants, and policies and interventions that link them 
(Kindig and Stoddart, 2003). Data science and population health have a 
natural affinity. This talk will explore this affinity, including 
potential avenues for realizing its potential. Special reference will be 
made to opportunities at UCR for collaborations of data scientists and 
population health scholars involving research, teaching, and service.


------------------------------------
Sponsored by the UCR Data Science Center, the purpose of the Data 
Science Seminars is to foster collaborations between "core" Data Science 
faculty (from CSE/ECE/Stat Departments) and faculty/visitors from other 
sciences that face Data Science problems in their research. These 
informal gatherings are open to interested faculty and graduate 
students. Each meeting will start with a talk describing research 
problems and then a discussion will follow for questions, open problems, 
ideas for possible collaborations etc.

Forward this email to other colleagues or graduate students in your lab 
that may be interested. Moreover, if you are interested in giving a Data 
Science related talk, please contact me (tsotras at cs.ucr.edu).

Sincerely,
Vassilis Tsotras
Professor, CSE Department
Director, Data Science Major
